Okay, here is the link to the smart keyboard. and here is the theme http://www.mediafire.com/?yy778k6t2nvltj7. I'd like the keyboard background to be black with fading blue glow around the borders of each key. That's basically all I have for now lol. If you want to add your own touch to it please do.
Ok im out with friends right now, and i think its gonna get late. But tomorrow ill see what i can do
Edit: i think u should remove the smart keyboard link, cause its paid. But im gonna pm it to u as soon as im done.
Edit2: I`ve looked at it and those r all *.9.png`s. To edit them i have to Decompile the apk and Recompile it. And i really have no idea how to compile signed market apps.

You should check the official Smart Keyboard forum. Somebody has started work on this: http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1007
Completely forgot about theme chooser, could try doing it with that, but it will take a while cause ive never done that before, another thing i could try is just to make a fake apk to compile the .9.png and see if it works when i put them into the smartkeyboard.apk. ill report when im back on the computer.

why do you need to compile another APK? smart keyboard has theme capabilities where u put it on the .sdcard as a .zip

Yes, but that only works for .png if u do that with .9.png u mess it up completely. The only thing u could do with .9.png is to let them run through a specific script (read the name somwhere on the net but cant remember) and just change the rgb values. Besides that i never tried it and cant tell if it works, theres still the problem, that u couldnt just make blue outlines on the keys or fade the bg from black to blue.
If u've been able to do that, tell me how, coz i never got .9.png to work without compiling them in an app.

The capitalizations were done to emphasize the idea. Now that I got that point across, but anyway.
Without any further adue, they're available now.

That's why I was so confused on why you guys were trying to modify the skin of the keyboard from the .apk. The actual application supports themes that makes it easier. It's like trying to reskin CM7 when there's a built-in theme manager. Just use the theme manager, it gets the job done easy and quick.
Enjoy.

I'm gonna start trying my hand in porting, i just dont know which theme to start with.
I was thinking about White Chrome from the i9000 forums, but i dont even know if its compatible.
it would be for sc2.9.2.
opinions please!
and if any of the themers would like to give me the ok to pm them if i get stuck with something, that would be awesome. i dont want to feel like im bugging all you guys haha
You dont know if its compatible? Of course its not. When you port a theme, you make it compatable.
You can pm me if you need any tips.
Hopefully you can talk with nitsuj17 he is very experienced.
White Chrome is dope, good luck with the port.
My advice would be to download an existing fascinate theme/framework and compare it to the theme you like and want to port...galaxy s themes are pretty close to ours (well gingerbread rom themes are a tad more difficult with systemui.apk) so just look through the drawable-hdpi folders and see what's different

i would recommend using sbrissens 6 lock mods as a base or stock frameworks from roms...when working with already themed frameworks ur carrying over their xml edits/image/framework changes too
and always remember to credit
yeah haha I read your ettiqute (sp) in your guide. so if I download sbrissens mods, and there will be modded frameworks in there and I can just put the image files that I am porting into that framework?

The best way to pick something to work on is find one that YOU like. Then all the aggravation can be worth it if its something you will want to personally use.

How could I forget, Darkedge! Not sure if you'll need to ask the original devs if you choose to port it.

How about something like touch of color for the galaxy s series. It looks soo nice.
Or how about a white honeycomb. Can you make a theme for the alpha? I think it would look siick in white. Just my opinion.

Maybe someone more talented than I can get it going(nitsuj17)(sbrissen). Anyway, here are the links. 1st one is a preview video of modded pull down. 2nd one is a set of instructions for adding the mod, the first 3-4 post are for gingerbread roms and then there is one for froyo roms...

Sorry to hear that. I think some of the animations would get pretty sweet. After we had the chance to swap out the files for our own taste or to match whatever theme you are working on.Obviously I wouldnt want the same animation from the video but customizing it the way we want peaks my intrest.......thanks for replying.

Exactly my point, technically I guess you could even use live wallpaper files and themers could create their own custom animations..
As far as battery life, according to the creator its not a battery drain and doesnt consume resources unless you engage the drop down menu....

Nice work! I'm running Crysis, and am myself am trying to come up with some animations that would look sweet with that. Tough one.
I hope at somepoint this leads to pull down widgets... Like sports scores, weather, news or whatever...... But simple animations is a good start and I realize widgets would be a leap but who knows....
I still dont understand what I was doing wrong. Did exactly what the original modder instructed... Aaaaaaa, oh well. Ill try again when I get to my desk top. My laptop died.......

LOL buy an Android to have Blackberry UI. Craziest thing I heard this month
Blackberry system isn't a loved system/UI, so I don't really think there is much more than the ADW theme. A BB launcher, sure nobody made it. But you can start getting the icons (if you can find them in good resolution :S ) and start with an icon pack.
Also you can mod the status bar to look like BB.
LOL sobralobo! I just realized this is you when I looked up to read again the post! What are you doing?! Hahaha

Ahah antonio, it's just because I love changing the style of my phone. Sometimes I want android UI, then Iphone UI, WP7 UI and know I would like the blackberry one. I like it too. Too bad that there is nothing more than ADW.
Well now I had to stop trying some development and modding because I'll have exams next week and you ?

Hahaha you didn't get me! I wasn't saying "why would you want Android look like *** not Android?", but specifically Blackberry, which isn't precisally famous for its beauty nor its performance (okay, Blackberries have a keyboard and are useful for businessman blabla).
WP7 and its Metro style have been recognized as pretty, and I'm not the only crazy who said "oh, it's nice", so I'm not alone
I'm not of those who are Android 100% defenders and it must look like Android. You all know that. I was just messing with Blackberry (which I hate), making my point and also messing with Sobralobo a little bit
Fair enough, and I'm always looking for themes, but ones that DON'T look like anything else. And as much as you may hate blackberry, I DESPISE everything Microsoft, so from the moment I saw your theme I couldn't understand why anyone would want to make an android look like Microsoft (though I must admit it looks pretty cool) I feel the same about iPhones, if you want your LG or Samsung to look like an iPhone, just spend the extra $200 and buy one!
